Buying Products From An Online Gluten Free Bakery

By Nora Jennings


Many people have a sensitivity to gluten and battle to find suitable products to add some variety to their diets. Having to change a diet can be a daunting prospect and access to an online gluten free bakery helps to make this change easier. Bakeries like this offer a wide variety of flavorful products from which to choose.

Today there are many people suffering from digestive disorders and autoimmune diseases that are unable to tolerate gluten. It causes a severe reaction in their bodies which cannot just be ignored. The small intestine suffers damage and can no longer absorb nutrients properly.

Some of the grains that cause this severe reaction are wheat, rye, barley and oats. Unfortunately, many of the products we eat today are made with these grains. However, alternatives have been found that can provide good substitutes. Potatoes, rice, tapioca and sorghum are just some of the grains and starches used by bakeries.

People often feel very deprived if they have to give up bread. Fortunately, many different types of bread are available from these bakeries, from loaves made from tapioca to flax seed loaves high in fiber. A high fiber loaf made with sorghum, millet and teff flours is a wholesome alternative to one made with wheat. Breads can be bought individually but they can also be bought in cases and stored in a freezer for several months.

People who have to change their diet to eat this way often miss the great texture and flavors of the foods they used to eat. However, with the advent of many online bakeries offering quality products, it is much easier than before to avoid feeling deprived. Moist brownies and muffins, delicious cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies are just some of the sweet treats on offer. There are also cake mixes, desserts and even hamburger buns and pizzas available.

You do need to watch out for hidden fats, sugars and sodium in some of these products, as they may be added to combat any loss of flavor and texture. This is why, whether you are selecting foods from a supermarket or a bakery, it is extremely important to check labels to see what ingredients have been used. When you read the label you may be surprised to find that a product you think is acceptable contains wheat as a thickener.

Purchasing from bakeries that produce only these products is probably one of your best and safest options. It beats combing the isles of your local supermarket for acceptable products. Items may be more expensive but you have an amazing array of products to choose from and peace of mind that they are safe for you to eat.

It is possible to have items shipped fresh or frozen, obviously depending on where you are ordering from and the nature of the product. These products may be somewhat more expensive than items found in your local supermarket. However, the amazing variety and the quality makes them really worth buying. You will no longer feel deprived with the many delicious alternatives available to you.
